NASA Aquarius satellite maps ocean salinity

You might have it poured on your meal, it could be concentrated in your bloodstream. But your salt IQ. can now be calculated on the Aquarius website . Aquarius is the suspiciously 60-ish name of NASA's latest earthly project. Without water, we know planets cannot be very comfortable. But with salt our ancestral forms crawled up onto the Earth and now it's inside us in large quantities. So relevant to all life forms and our climate, the sea's salt has now been estimated by NASA's Aquarius/SAC-D satellite observatory. After two and a half weeks, since only August 25th , the preliminary data have been exemplary, providing us with an early view of large-scale ocean patterns. Later, Gary Lagerloef of Earth & Space Research in Seattle says, "Aquarius will allow scientists to explore the connections between global rainfall, ocean currents and climate variations". "Aquarius' salin...
